nice the banana palm does look as real tho.
and btw, journal spam?

Journal spam for sure.

But those are nice-looking palm trees.

Wow, nice. Are you releasing these?

I think dewdle would love these for his little project.

I would But you're also entering the compo so you don't have to lend me em, still, pm me if you don't mind me using em.

I'm not entering the compo because I dont have time to finish the mgs2 minimod so you can use them. I'll upload them when I fix some things that needs a little bit more of work.

I think they'll should look great in dewdle's entry. They suit TF2 very well. Nice work, Spike.

(By the way, this isn't biased - I'm not judging)

Palm leaves fixed, now the bottom of them don't intersect eachother.

How long did it take to learn to do organics as good as that?

I didn't know anything about modeling 2 weeks ago. I've learned a lot watching the official videotutorials, and I started the palm tree a week ago or so, but you can make it in 2 hours. Now I see my maps in another prespective, you can make whatever you want with models without reducing the fps. I recommend you Habboi to learn it.

What is a good free program to use with modeling? 3ds Max is like mega expensive!

XSI Mod tool, free and with Valve support

They're well textured too. How did you learn how to create those textures?

I've watched the XSI MOD TOOL official tutorials and TheGrimReafer has helped me too.

Ops sorry, i didn't read you well, you were asking about textures. Well, the banana tree texture was very easy, I just took the pic from here http://www.cgtextures.com/, cut it and I changed a little bit the tonality, there's nothing special.
